Shortly after getting dragged away by Carn, they arrived at a sowhat discreet place.
"Guild Leader, be honest, do you know why Elder Yaren forced you to go to the Abyssal Rift?" Carn demanded. "Also, what does Elder Yaren an by baptized? Is it related to that sudden power-up you demonstrated when confronting the other contestants?"
Nurous questions began to bombard Xu Feng, prompting him to be stunned, not knowing which one to answer precisely.
He had no choice but to cover Carn's mouth with his hand to stop her from speaking any longer. "Can you give
a second to recollect my thoughts and answer them properly?"
Carn blinked her eyes twice, indicating that she understood and wanted him to remove his hand.
After removing his hands, Xu Feng began to explain the baptized state. He didn't conceal much aside from where he got baptized from.
"So if a player received a baptism, they could gain an insane power-up?" Carn rubbed her chin softly.
"Yeah, sounds about right."
"What do you an sounds about right? Is there more benefit aside from the power-up?"
"Yes, but we'll be staying here till nightti cos and we still won't be able to finish explaining its actual use." Xu Feng smiled bitterly.
"Tsk, acting all mysterious suddenly. Is this your deliberate manner in rousing my curiosity but won't actually give
anything until the situation requires it?" Carn pursed her lips.
Coughing, Xu Feng was truly helpless at her interrogation. "Anyway, because of this baptized state, Conductor Yaren realized I am capable of accomplishing the tasks she asked for."
"I guessed so." Carn knitted her brows and temporarily decided to let him off easily. If it weren't for the fact that Xu Feng had ntioned he needed to safeguard her once she followed him to the Abyssal Rift, then she would have ensured he would get a piece of her mind.
'Hmph, consider yourself lucky, Feng.' Carn thought to herself, forgiving Xu Feng for concealing this much information from her.
Since she was considered a real mber of the Vanguard Guild, not knowing much about him was truly like a thorn in her mind.
It was equivalent to working with your friend and giving your all to provide the best result, but you then realized you knew nothing about that person.
Others might call her annoying or prying too much in the person's interest, but when you want to work with soone close such as your friend or buddy, then you would wish to be privy to so information unknown to others.
If one was not interested in learning them, then there was only one explanation. You don't care for that person or wish to put in any effort to succeed.
This was also why Xu Feng decided to reveal so information to her. He valued her as a guild mber and did not wish for a rift to erupt in their relationship.
Soti later, the two of them waited at the exit gate of Paradise Plains.
"Hmm, this beef skewer is really juicy and tender." Carn smiled blissfully. "The veggies next to it are greatly harmonized with the beef, enhancing the overall flavor and boosting the umami taste."
Xu Feng twitched his brows when he heard her speaking like so gourt expert.
While walking here, Carn sniffed sothing good and practically forced him to buy a few to eat.
At this mont, Xu Feng really wondered what kind of disaster would occur if Zhao Kai and Carn ever t up.
'Is my wallet going to be safe or will these two eat them all up?' He suddenly shivered briefly, unable to fathom the perilous mont for his wallet.
Thankfully, his imaginary nightmare was temporarily set aside with the arrival of Crimson Heart.
"Beef skewer?" Crimson Heart was taken aback upon seeing Carn eating, her lips sowhat greasy from the cooking oil.
"Do you want so as well?" Xu Feng offered, his hand still holding a few skewers.
"Those are mine though, Guild Leader." Carn quickly swallowed a piece of beef and exclaid. "If she wants so, then sure, she can pay
5 copper coins."
"The beef skewer only cost 2 copper coins." Before Xu Feng could respond, Crimson Heart interjected and gazed at Carn. For so reason, she believed Carn was hostile toward her and she didn't understand why.
Unfortunately for her belief, Carn simply didn't want to share her food, creating a lovely misconception.
"There's going to be a long distance from here to the Abyssal Rift. Letting her eat one of the skewers ensures her stamina wouldn't decrease too fast. Otherwise, we might have to waste a lot more ti when traveling." Xu Feng explained.
"Fine," Carn relented, clearly unwilling to delay their journey.
"Then I shall thank you." Crimson Heart smiled slightly, took one of the skewers, and began eating it.
She had spotted these skewers long ago when she arrived at Paradise Plains.
However, the cost of 2 copper coins was simply too much of a scam for her.
For the sa price of 2 copper coins, she could purchase 3 loaves of bread, albeit with a lower buff effect.
"Alright, let's not delay any further." Xu Feng quickly said, feeling sowhat fearful upon seeing Crimson Heart's glistening expression. It was precisely the sa kind of expression that sowhat corrupted Carn into enjoying the food in the Divine World.
He really did not wish to have another foodie on the team, so he decided to rush them, not giving Crimson Heart a chance to truly enjoy her food.
As they began their journey, Carn's eyes widened in shock when she realized Crimson Heart's class.
"Wait a minute, you're an Assassin?" Carn initially thought she was either an Arcane Mage or Sorcerer due to her gears.
"She wears that kind of gear purposely to play the pig to eat a tiger." Xu Feng calmly explained.
anwhile, Crimson Heart glanced at him with an astonished look. She didn't think he would be able to guess her motive from the start.
"An Arcane Mage and Sorcerer are deed easy targets once they enter close combat. So I disguise myself as one to lure them to ." Crimson Heart snickered coldly, relishing the monts when so foolish players entered close-combat range to attack her.
An Assassin might specialize in ambush, but that didn't an their close-combat skills were any weaker.
